AsianDOC Electronic Newsletter 1:1(March 1998)
by Steve McCarty
Greetings from Shikoku Island in southwestern Japan. It has been my exquisite privilege to participate in the Humanist Discussion Group, an online seminar of the Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College, London University, in cooperation with Princeton University and the University of Virginia. In December of 1997 I was invited to write a series for Humanist on developments in Computing and the Humanities in the Asia-Pacific region. The "Gleanings from Pacific Asia" series is available to Humanist members (see particulars at URL: http://www.princeton.edu/~mccarty/humanist/) and also on the Web along with other posts to Humanist. Among my contributions concerning Asia are the following: "Academic Websites subject to Attribution Ethics" Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 11, No. 433 (1 December 1997) Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London http://www.iath.virginia.edu/lists_archive/Humanist/v11/0415.html "Korea-Japan-U.S. Website copying case closed" Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 11, No. 467 11.0467 WWW curiosities, uses and happenings (16 December 1997). http://www.iath.virginia.edu/lists_archive/Humanist/v11/0445.html "11.0456 gleanings from Pacific Asia" [series introduced by the moderator] Humanist Discussion Group (11 December 1997). http://www.iath.virginia.edu/lists_archive/Humanist/v11/0434.html "Japan's Cultural Receptivity to Computers" 11.0473 gleanings from Pacific Asia (17 December 1997). http://www.iath.virginia.edu/lists_archive/Humanist/v11/0449.html "A matter more of expressiveness than infrastructure" 11.0482 gleanings (22 December 1997) http://www.iath.virginia.edu/lists_archive/Humanist/v11/0461.html "50 Excellent Universities in Asia" 11.0500 gleanings from Pacific Asia (7 January 1998) http://www.iath.virginia.edu/lists_archive/Humanist/v11/0474.html "The Net Facing Chinese Humanists" Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 11, No. 549 11.0549 gleanings from Pacific Asia (30 January 1998) http://www.iath.virginia.edu/lists_archive/Humanist/v11/0521.html Many more articles are available online from the menu at the "Bilingualism and Japanology Intersection," which has received a 4-star rating, very useful for research, from the Asian Studies WWW Virtual Library.
